    It seems to frequently happen that when a conservative accuses someone of doing something bad, it later comes out that they were already doing the same thing themselves.

      see: homophobic conservatives being outed as gays. or republicans who like bringing up pedophilia way too much… or being paid by george soros or something.

      AKA “hypernormalization”.

      Anyone notice how sketchy the last USA election was, yet how quiet people are about that? They are worn down.

        Not so much worn down as cowed by the false dichotomy of “talking about real election fraud is the same thing as inventing imagined election fraud” which is touted by the media, the DNC, and their loyalists.

        It’s bullshit, but the dominant narrative is that doubting the fairness of any election makes you just like the MAGA cult since obviously the system is infallible and not at all vulnerable to the fascists cheating 🙄
